Thank you for your feedback!Portal custom WLST commands are extensions to the WLST commands and are specific to Oracle Portal. Table 12-1 lists the Portal custom WLST command categories.
For additional information about administration and configuration of Portal, see the Oracle Portal Configuration Guide.
Note:
To use these commands, you must invoke WLST from the Oracle home in which the component has been installed. See "Using Custom WLST Commands" in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide.Table 12-1 Portal WLST Command Categories
| Command category | Description |
|---|---|
|
Create, edit, or delete a general DAD or Portal DAD. |

The Configuration commands:

A Database Access Descriptor (DAD) is a set of values that specify how an application connects to an Oracle database to fulfill an HTTP request. The information in the DAD includes the user name (which also specifies the schema and the privileges), password, connect string, and globalization support language of the database.
There are two types of DADs: general DAD and portal DAD. An Oracle Portal middle tier uses a Portal DAD to access the Oracle Metadata Repository. For information about general DADs, refer to the Oracle Fusion Middleware Administrator's Guide for Oracle HTTP Server.
Use the Database Access Descriptor commands listed in Table 12-2 to create, edit, or delete a Portal DAD from the WLST command-line scripting interface. Based on your actions, the portal_dads.conf file is updated.

| Argument | Definition |
|---|---|
name
|
Name of the Database Access Descriptor. |
schema
|
The Portal database account user name. |
password
|
The Portal database account password. |

Portal cache is a file system-based cache for Oracle Portal pages and portlets. Portal cache supports validation-based caching and expiry-based caching. Portal cache consists of both Portal content cache and session cache.
This command updates the attributes of the Portal cache. These configuration details are maintained in the <Middleware Home>/user_projects/domains/<DOMAIN_HOME>/servers/WLS_PORTAL/stage/portal/portal/configuration/portal_cache.conf file.
configurePortalCache([enable], [directory], [total_size], [max_size], [cleanup_time], [max_age])
| Argument | Definition |
|---|---|
enable
|
Optional. Enables (On) or disables (Off) portal content and session caching. |
directory
|
Optional. The directory where cached content is stored.
Make sure that this directory exists and has read-write access. |
total_size
|
Optional. The total amount of disk space (in megabytes) that the Portal cache may use. The maximum value allowed is 4 GB. |
max_size
|
Optional. The maximum size (in bytes) for all cached files. The maximum value allowed is 4 GB.Any dynamically generated content that exceeds this limit is not cached. |
cleanup_time
|
Optional. The time at which to start the cleanup of the cache storage. Use the [Sunday-Saturday, Everyday, Everymonth][hh:mm] format to define the exact day and time in which cleanup should occur. |
max_age
|
Optional. Maximum age of a single cached document. This setting ensures the cache system does not contain any old content. Old cache files are removed to make space for new cache files. The default is 30 days. |

The Oracle Fusion Middleware Portal architecture is designed around a three-tier architecture that allows any browser to connect to it. This flexible architecture allows each component (browser, Oracle HTTP Server listener, Oracle Database 11g, and Oracle Portal) to be upgraded individually as required.
A part of the Oracle Portal middle tier, the Parallel Page Engine (PPE) is a servlet that runs under Oracle Containers for J2EE and services page requests. The PPE reads page metadata, calls providers for portlet content, accepts provider responses, and assembles the requested page in the specified page layout.
This command updates the properties in the appConfig.xml file, the configuration file that is used by the Portal mid-tier repository servlet. This configuration file is located in the $MWHOME/user_projects/domains/AllClassicDomain/servers/WLS_PORTAL/stage/portal/portal/configuration/ directory.
configurePortalPageEngine([encrypt_key], [resource_url_key], [use_port], [use_ scheme], [x509certfile])
| Argument | Definition |
|---|---|
encrypt_key
|
Optional. Specifies the HMCA key to obscure the headers used for caching using WebCache. This allows for a more secure cache key, and makes retrieving a cached object by unwanted requests more difficult. |
resource_url_key
|
Optional. This key, used by the PPE servlet, calculates checksums for URLs that are requested by WSRP and JPDK resource proxying. For WSRP resource proxying to work, the key must be set to an alpha-numeric value of 10 characters or more. In addition, for JPDK proxying, a JNDI environment variable, also called resourceUrlKey, must be set for the provider. |
use_port
|
Optional. Overrides the port used when the PPE makes requests to the portal. The default, if not specified, is to always use the page request port. Note that if you set useScheme, you must also set the usePort argument.
This may be used for other reasons, but mostly it is used when SSL is running between the browser and the PPE but not between the PPE and Portal. In this case, the non-SSL port for loop back requests will be different from the SSL port used by the browser. |
use_scheme
|
Optional. Overrides the scheme (HTTP or HTTPS) used when the PPE makes requests to the Portal. The default, if not specified, is to always use the page request scheme. Note that if you set useScheme, you must also set the usePort argument. |
x509certfile
|
Optional. Specifies a file containing a list of certificates to be implicitly trusted by HTTPClient. These certificates are added as trust points to all connections made by HTTPClient using SSL. |
